In keeping with his experience, he observed that pioneers didn&#8217;t just cross the plains, they exist in every land. There are far more pioneers today.<\/li>\n<li>Elder Gardner &#8212; Preparing for Change. He said we can do this by 1. Following the Prophets; 2. Taking an Eternal Perspective; 3. Exercising Faith; and 4. Being of Good Cheer<\/li>\n<li>Sister Thompson &#8212; Strengthening Families. \u201cWe must be \u2018fixed in our purpose\u2019 as we seek to increase in faith and personal righteousness, strengthen our families and homes, and serve the Lord and His children.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Elder Holland &#8212; The Mission of the Lord Jesus Christ. &#8220;The Father may have never been closer to his son than in these final moments.&#8221; &#8220;May we stand by Jesus Christ\u2026 for surely that is how he stood by us\u2026&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>President Monson &#8212; While we are facing an economic downturn, while the situation is grim and moral footings of society continue to slip, we should focus on the blessings, remaining cheerful in the face of adversity. Three heart-rending stories illustrate the theme. He said that though the\u00a0 rains fall about us, our knowledge of our Heavenly Father will sustain us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a few thoughts on Sunday Morning&#8217;s session of conference.
